The Computer Game Show

James is away on business, leaving David, Sean and Mat to run rampant.

Naturally it gets silly almost immediately, but we still find time to discuss Halo: The Master Chief Collection getting some nice Xbox Series X upgrades, custom PS5 flaps going on sale, and rumours about Xbox streaming sticks and 1 vs 100 possibly returning.

There’s a little bit of what we’ve been playing, then we fall into a deep conversation about social media habits, hate-fuelled rages, and atrophied bodies, like you do. 

Games discussed: Hades, Spider-Man, Genshin Impact, Super Mario Bros., Ghost of Tsushima: Legends.

There’s an awful lot of feedback about The Bet, and Mat’s not happy.

All that plus how to pass on knowledge to your children, the ol’ switcheroo in story-telling, consoles on fire and so much more.

What a massive, massive week of news. So much has happened.

Sony finally announced the price, the launch date and some launch games for the PS5, yet somehow we got more information from Geoff Keighley.

Microsoft bought Bethesda and Zenimax for $7.5bn! Doom! Elder Scrolls! Fallout! The lot! It’s crazy!

And Nintendo had another partner showcase mini direct thing.

Elsewhere, we go through the results of our predictions for the Sony show, but that’s all small-fry compared to the main event; MAT AND JAMES’ BET.

Strap in.

Games discussed: Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Paradise Killer, Frostpunk.
